Did anyone else read this (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004147460_rbstevens270.html) article about Bucs TE Jerramy Stevens? If you haven't, I strongly suggest you do. Essentially, the article details all of Stevens' run-ins with the law and how, time after time, he has caught breaks.
I have to give some credit to the Seattle Times for publishing the article, though it comes a few years late, and to PFT for sheding light on the article. Hopefully, teams will take note.

What's the incentive for him to ever change his ways? He keeps getting off easy, making him seem more "invincible" each time.
The real problem is that the University and Police department turned their back on a young lady who was obviously raped.
He targeted, Drugged then raped a girl. He should spend the rest of his life in prison.

That's one of those heart-breaking stories and a similar thing happened to one of my best friends. The sad thing is, rape often comes down to "he said she said" and when the victim does not remember much and the police have no evidence that the attacker drugged the victim, there's not much that can be done. In this instance, however, the police had a witness and could have properly interrogated Stevens and extracted a confession. It just sucks.

That was absolutely disgusting and atrocious...these are the types of guys who are shivved in prison because of what they're in for. It's a real shame that guys like this get the breaks they do.

I'd say the guys earned another chance. Seriously though how many times did the guy fuck up? I lost count about halfway through the article. Great article.

As I was reading the article I said to myself, "Wait, why are they talking about this incident? Didn't they just discuss it? Oh, it's another incident?"

What a douchebag. I never liked that guy. Talked a lot of smack during the playoff meeting back in '05.
What's ironic is that Sean Taylor's character was assassinated after he died defending his family from intruders, constantly being called a "thug" and yet you have guys like this who are overgrown roid-raging frat boy drunk driver rapists, and nobody says a thing while they're actively ruining other people's lives.
And what about Leonard Little, who KILLED a woman while driving drunk, and basically got off with a slap on the wrist?
